See useful places near your worksite each morning
Start the day with a short list of nearby essentials around your planned worksite, instead of researching the area between tasks.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Nearby search
Searches for places (e.g., restaurants, parks) within a specified circular area, with options to filter by place types and customize the returned fields and number of results.
Why this helps
Having to search for food, parking, or supplies around a different work location every day.
- Get a recurring local overview before heading out.
- Search for the place categories that matter to your workday.
- Spend less time comparing map results one query at a time.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Seam and Google Maps to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to search Google Maps for your chosen nearby essentials around today's worksite and summarize results.
- 4Pick a daily recurring schedule and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real worksite and nearby category.
Questions about this workflow
Does this read my Seam devices to know the worksite?
Only if your automation context or an external service provides the worksite location. Otherwise, specify a location source in your plain-language instruction.
Can I choose which nearby places to find?
Yes. Name the place categories you want in the instruction, such as lunch options, parking, or hardware stores.
